Studies based on protein-coding genes are essential to describe the diversity within
bacterial functional groups. In the case of aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic (AAP) bacteria …

Diel cycle is of enormous biological importance as it imposes daily oscillation in
environmental conditions, which temporally structures most ecosystems. Organisms …

Eukaryotic organisms evolved in a microbial world and often have intimate associations with
diverse bacterial groups. Kelp, brown macroalgae in the order Laminariales, play a vital role …

Aerobic anoxygenic photoheterotrophic (AAP) bacteria represent a functional group of
prokaryotic organisms that harvests light energy using bacteriochlorophyll‐containing …

Lakes are a significant component of the global carbon cycle. Respiration exceeds net
primary production in most freshwater lakes, making them a source of CO2 to the …

Members of the bacterial phylum Gemmatimonadota are ubiquitous in most natural
environments and represent one of the top 10 most abundant bacterial phyla in soil …

The interactions of microalgae and their associated microbiomes have come to the fore of
applied phycological research in recent years. However, the functional mechanisms of …

Expanding the stress tolerance and adaptation potential of primary producers is of
importance for the restoration and management of aquatic ecosystems. Microorganisms …

Marine bacterioplankton represent a diverse assembly of species differing largely in their
abundance, physiology, metabolic activity, and role in microbial food webs. To analyze their …

Several significant ecosystem services are performed by biological soil crusts (BSCs) in
drylands, wherein photoautotrophic microorganisms are commonly critical contributors …
